I was thinking, it might be important to make sure 1 point is approximately equal in everyone's lessons, or else you could earn loads of points for one lesson and just a tiny bit for an equally hard lesson. :snape: Is this an issue for anyone else?

I try to issue points according to how difficult the assignment is. Any student can do well in my classes if they show they have the general understanding of the lesson. As time goes on my lessons will become more detailed. I like to start out easy, so that most will get the understanding of how the class is run, and what my expectations are from them. I may only have a essay for my next lesson so that will only be worth a 20 points instead of 40pts for 15 question homework assignment. It really just depends on the assignment itself. As the lesson get more detailed I will be giving extra points for creativity and extra research work, points above and beyond the points previously stated in the lesson.

sounds pretty reasonable. I'll rethink my grading once more people reply.

Yeah, I just wanna make sure 1 point is as difficult - or easy - to earn in Charms as in everything else.

My point system varies on the assignment! If it's a hard assignment then I would award points out of twenty-five! If it was easy then 15 points possible! None of the assignments will be any higher or lower than that, it would be unfair and could alter the house points alot. :)

"I give out points depending on how creative my students are when describing their readings...being a writer...I love descriptive details..its so much more visual.....so the student who gives me a very descriptive homework gets alot of points..now granted some are gifted in that...and I will take that into consideration....or have them try it again and see if they can come up with anything better.... but I think I'm fair with my points that I give out..I haven't heard any complaints!"
